Story Behind the Song
A love song in the style of R n B greats Stevie Wonder/Babyface written by Hemant Desai. Some call it his best effort on this album. Has been nominated in songwriting contests. HD is proud of the song but not of teh vocal perfomance as it was early in the A.M. on a cold December morning in Denver when he sang it in the studio and his vocal apparatus wasn't warmed up enough. Song also features a nice sax solo by Jim Jenkins of 'Free Ride to Nowhere' fame. (See world-VU CD track 5.)
Lyrics
WAITING FOR A SIGN
It would be easy to fall for somebody new
Its much harder to make it up with you
Ive been living a lie since I found you gone
Please tell me that you miss me too.
I need you so bad, how can I win back my place in your heart?
For it's been no life,
without your sweet smile
I've been counting the hours, patiently
Waiting for a sign that you still care inside
Waiting for the day when you come back to me
Waiting for the love, a love that used to be
Waiting for a sign so I could breathe easily
Im waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign, from you.
It could be easy to become someone who hurts
Its much harder to make the pain go away
I've been losing my mind since I saw you gone
Please tell me that you've missed me too
I need you so much, how can I win back that place in your heart?
It's been no life without your sweet smile
I've been counting the time, simply,
Waiting for a sign, that you still care inside
Waiting for a sign, that you'll return to me
Waiting for the love, a love that used to be
Waiting for a sign so I could breathe easily
I'm waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign, from you.
(sax solo)
I keep wishing that I hadn't said
goodbye that night
And that I had treated you more decently
Waiting for a sign,
That you still care inside
Waiting for the day when you come back to me
Waiting for the love, a love that used to be
Waiting for a sign so I could breathe easily
I'm waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign, from you.
